'Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale' Trailer Hits Right in the Feels

Not every fan of Downton Abbey knows that the series theme song has a name and lyrics, beyond just "The Downton Abbey Suite." When the original soundtrack was released in the UK in 2011, it included a version of the track titled "Did I Make the Most of Loving You?," sung by Mary-Jess Leaverland, who was having a moment in the U.K. after winning Min Xing Chang Fan Tian (The Chinese version of The X-Factor) while living there as an exchange student.

I bring this up because 15 years after the series debuted, the song is once again back, though, like on the series, still sans lyrics. Instead, it is a fuller, grander version of the theme we all know and love, as befitting Downton Abbey's last outing, titled The Grand Finale. I also mention it because I am probably not the only one who has a total Pavlovian response to hearing it. If you're like me, get tissues now, because I was an absolute sobbing mess by the time the two-minute clip was over. (Hugh Bonneville doing the most acting with his facial expressions does not help.)

However, once my tears dried, and I watched a second time, I also realized that Lady Mary in her red dress and tiara looks like she is about to perform on stage in 1930s London. Actor Michelle Dockery is an accomplished singer, a talent that Downton has only occasionally taken advantage of.
